Rare Nirvana Acoustic Performance Uncovered

December 3, 2017 | Eric

Back in 1991, Kurt Cobain and Dave Grohl played an acoustic set to more than a couple dozen people in Scotland.  And recently, AltPress reported that a recording of their set for charity was unearthed.

Playing under the pseudonym “Teen Spirit,” (very deep cover, with that name🙄), the Nirvana duo played “Dumb,” “Polly,” and a cover of the Vaselines’ “Jesus Doesn’t Want Me for a Sunbeam.”  The audio is a little rough, but not bad for tape that is 26 years old.  Enjoy.  — [eric]
